The 38-year-old royal wore a navy jacket from the label for an engagement today at the Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre Stanford Hall in Stanford on Soar, Loughborough.
The jacket features the designer’s characteristic military-style buttons, together with a nipped in waist and a flat collar.
Duchess Kate wore it buttoned up to her neck together with a matching A-line navy midi skirt.
The royal has long been a fan of the Alexander McQueen fashion label, wearing a bridal gown designed by Sarah Burton, creative director of Alexander McQueen, for her wedding on 29 April 2011.
She has worn the label many times since, re-wearing a McQueen dress for this year’s BAFTAs.
